=== Getting to NoS ===
* Firefall Pass may be entered from [[Umbral Plains (Terror of Luclin)]].
* The guild hall teleportation assistant sells [https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=145121 Tri-Spirit Embossed Token] for 499 platinum pieces that will change the guild portal to teleport you to Shar Vahl, Divided. 
* Druids and Wizards have ports to Shadeweaver's Tangle. Self only at level 114, group and others at level 115. The spells are sold by Danala Valith (Teleportation Spells) in Shar Vahl, Divided for ~3,200 platinum each.
* [https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=144439 Lost Turnip Sign] - [[Claim items|Claim item]] personal teleport device. Obtained with purchase of the Collector's, Premium, or Family & Friends Editions. Ports to Ruins of Shadow Haven.

=== Unlocking ===
In order to enter [[Deepshade]] you must complete the mission ''Hero of Shadow Haven: When One Door Closes''.  This enables you to get past the looked door in Ruins of Shadow Haven to reach the zone line to Deepshade.  However, if (I believe) someone on the server has completed the raid, ''When One Door Closes'', the locked door disappears from the Ruins of Shadow Haven and anyone may now enter Deepshade.

To enter Darklight Caverns someone must temporarily remove the rocks blocking the doorway in Deepshade next to the Darklight Caverns zone line by hailing ''[https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/npc.html?id=58546 a spirit of perseverance]''. Hailing ''a spirit of perseverance'' will remove the rocks for about 30 seconds. The character hailing ''a spirit of perseverance'' must have completed [https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/quest.html?quest=12243 Partisan of Deepshade] for the rocks to be removed.  

Characters may also use a [[Campfires|fellowship campfire]] or a [[Guild banners|guild banner]] to enter Darklight Caverns. However, it may be required to have completed the mission ''Hero of Shadow Haven: When One Door Closes'' ([https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/quest.html?quest=12486 Allakhazam], [https://nos.eqresource.com/whenonedoorcloses.php EQ Resource]) to do so.

{{Raid progression in Night of Shadows}}

'''Paludal Caverns – Insatiable an Appetite''' - Fueled by her unending hunger for absolute dominance, Skihnar Queen Hashiss is spawning an army of minions to flood Norrath in order to obliterate its denizens and take control. It’s up to you adventurers to face this infestation and stop it.

'''Shar Vahl – Pit Fight''' - Grimlings, due to all the unrest in Shar Vahl, have become bolder. Citizens have been disappearing. Sergeant Hujiid wants to teach them not to mess with the Vah Shir, but just can't spare the people with all the issues in the city. So, she is sending adventurers like you. What she doesn't know is that the grimlings are gathering with the intent of sacking the city and taking what they can before the Akheva arrive.

'''Shar Vahl – Mean Streets''' - A rebellious uprising has created turmoil—and maybe even caused death—and its mysterious leader must be found and destroyed. Beware, all those who enter, illusions and manipulation abound, and achieving triumph will take cunning and resolve.

'''Ruins of Shadow Haven - When One Door Closes''' - Something has clearly caused massive destruction in Shadow Haven. Some witnesses—though not consistent with others—claim that a monster rampaged through the old door smashing it to pieces. It then wreaked havoc inside, eventually returning through the shattered doorway. However, looking at it now, it seems that such a tale can't be true since the door is there and as solid as ever…

'''Deepshade – Myconid Mutiny''' - Sporali living in the Deepshade have been restless under the thumb of some sort of manic artist. Their chaotic, dangerous behavior is hindering efforts to find out what lies at the heart of the moonquake and the destruction happening around it. The only way forward is to stop the sporali before they bring their chaos to other places on Luclin.

'''Deepshade – Dance of the Demiurge''' - Madness has gripped the mysterious Malthshisku who believes he can be a greater creator of all things than those that came before. He is apparently planning his future efforts in the form of a play. He watches from an unknown location as his minions play out what his reign would look like. There is only one way to bring this self-appointed deity out to face justice.

'''Darklight Caverns – The Spirit Fades''' - The great spirits have freed Grakaw, but even they dare not approach him. He has been imprisoned and tortured for so long that he doesn't trust anyone. And even now, magic binds him—magic that the spirits can’t even see, much less remove. Heroes are needed to help finally free Grakaw.

'''Firefall Pass – The Shadows Move''' - The Akheva have begun their push to take Shar Vahl. Knowing that the army is coming, the Vah Shir choose to meet them in the pass where their superior numbers won't mean as much as they are bottle-necked by the narrow tunnel through the mountain. Moreover, their military resources are depleted by turmoil in the city, so they now ask brave souls to help them at least reduce the enemy's numbers before arriving at Shar Vahl.

'''Shar Vahl – Under Siege''' - Once the Akheva get through Firefall Pass, they will arrive at Shar Vahl in large enough numbers to take the city if the heroes do not once again assist the Vah Shir. Hold the bridge, defeat their leader, and save the treasure that is Shar Vahl and the citizens who call it home.

== Spells ==

Norrathians have ended the conflict between Mayong Mistmoore and Luclin herself, but can they relax their vigilance? The recent attention of Luclin has emboldened the Akheva, and they continue their plans to conquer the moon!

Shadow Haven in ruins, Shar Vhal in complete turmoil, and a recent earthquake that opened a pass in Firefall.

As war rages across the surface of Luclin, disaster has befallen Shadow Haven deep below. The mysterious sealed door has been smashed open, and the great spirit trapped behind it has rampaged through the city, leaving death and destruction before retreating to the unknown caverns it escaped from. What maddened the spirits? How can the Akheva be stopped? Can Shar Vahl survive as war threatens to engulf the city? The truth lies in the shadows -- will you survive to find it?
